I just woke up so pardon my ignorance, but according to google, this is what the Principle means:
> The Principle of Sufficient Reason is a powerful and controversial philosophical principle stipulating that everything must have a reason, cause, or ground
I hope that the author of that principle has been dead for more than 100 years so as not to cause any insult to his surviving family members but here is my preliminary response to having read and first learned about this principle just now:
- "What a load of fatuous nonsense!" 🤦♂️
Therefore, let us glory, yea, we will glory in the Lord; yes, we will rejoice, for our joy is full; yea, we will praise our God forever. Behold, who can glory too much in the Lord? Yea, who can say too much of his great power, and of his mercy, and of his long-suffering towards to children of men? Behold, I say unto you, I cannot say the smallest part which I feel. 🙏
